The Newton All City Troubadours

The Concord Band presents Holiday Pops! on Saturday, December. 14, 2024, 7:00 PM at 51 Walden in Concord. The Concord Band welcomes the Newton All City Troubadours, directed by Jaime Alberts and Eric Ritter, with collaborative pianist Emma Campbell. The Newton All City Troubadours are an auditioned, select chorus of 20 members comprising Newton's best 7th, 8th and 9th grade singers. Their mission is to spread joy through the creation of community and music throughout Newton and beyond.

Under the baton of Music Director James O’Dell, the program includes seasonal favorites such as Sleigh RideAuld Lang Syne, and a composition by Boston musician and composer, Edward Madden, celebrating Hanukkah titled Shirim. There will also be a special visitor.

The All City Troubadours will bring the holiday spirit to our audience as they perform "When You Believe," lead the audience sing-along, and join the Band for Christmas Finale, arranged for chorus and band by Joyce Eilers. The Concord Band will reprise Mancini Spectacular as well as Gabriel Fauré's Tuscan Serenade with euphonium soloist Doug Ruby.
